We are screwed over. But if we go down we will take many other nations with us when we are not buying their crap anymore or handing out $$.

In order to dump them some one has to be buying them.  I dont think other nations are lining up to buy our debt.
If the reports I`ve read are true the Saudi`s have a lot to do with the increase in the price of Gold.  Theyre supposedly trading US dollars for Gold as fast as they can.
That means theyve lost confidence in the dollar.

I think it is high time we close our borders. heck, Maybe a little isolationism don't sound bad. We have enough technology and resources to depend on ourselves. We've gotten so damned involved in everyone elses issues....

They have already bought it with China being the #1 holder of  them.

We can only hope. I personally think this would solve our problems! Close all borders, deport all illegals,no more foreign aid period, drill more wells in US territorial waters.
